Not to steal tabs thunder on the construction issues, but it reminded me of a construction related question I have.

I recently moved to a new property and we have a 1,200 sq. ft. horse barn that I want to use for car storage and work. It is a reasonably new structure and in good shape, built on a concrete slab with power and water.

The construction is post and beam with tounge and grove exterior walls with open space at the top and bottom of the walls (exposed to the outside). I'd like to have better finish inside with lighting, heat, insulation and power outlets throughout.

So, my questions - can you frame from the inside, seal up the structure, put in the insulation, power outlets, dry wall and better lighting? Will I need to hire an architect or just a remodeling contractor?

thanks
